Windows Server 2012 : File Services and Storage - Configuring iSCSI storage (part 5) - Using iSCSI Initiator - Discovering targets

3/25/2014 4:34:24 AM

Discovering targets

After you configure your iSCSI initiator, the next step is to discover available iSCSI targets in your environment. You can do this by performing the following steps:

  1. Click on the Discover tab of the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box, and click Discover Portal to open the Discover Target Portal dialog box:

  2. Type the IP address or DNS name (hostname or FQDN) for the target portal (iSCSI Target Server) that hosts the target to which you want to connect, and then click OK. If additional configuration is required to discover the target portal, click Advanced.

  3. After you click OK, the target portal you specified will be displayed in the Target Portals list on the Discover tab.

If you now switch to the Targets tab, the Discovered Targets list should display all the targets available on the portal for the initiator to connect to. (See Figure 7.)

Two targets have been discovered on the target portal named HOST7.

Note

Troubleshooting iSCSI target discovery

If your attempt to discover an iSCSI target fails, it is usually for one of the following reasons:

  • The wrong target portal IP address or DNS name was configured on the initiator.

  • The wrong IQN for the initiator was assigned when the target was created.

  • There are problems with network connectivity between the initiator and target computers.

Troubleshooting the first issue is straightforward. To see if the second issue is the cause of the problem, try assigning IQN* as the target, which allows any initiator to connect to it. And, of course, you can troubleshoot the third issue using standard network troubleshooting procedures.
